Painting for Florence homes

Florence sits where I-95 meets I-20, and its homes cover a lot of ground: older houses near downtown and Timrod Park, brick ranches from the 1960s and 70s, and newer subdivisions spreading west of the interstate. What they share is the Pee Dee climate. Long, humid summers, heavy spring pollen and afternoon storms wear down exterior paint faster than many homeowners expect, and mildew loves the shady side of a house.

A good paint job does more than look nice. It seals wood trim against rot, protects siding from moisture, and keeps a home looking cared for when it's time to sell. Whether you need the whole exterior repainted, a few rooms freshened up, or kitchen cabinets brought up to date, the right painter makes the difference.

We're a free referral service, not a paint company. Call (854) 400-5365 or send the form, and we'll connect you with an independent local painter who will look at the project and give you a written estimate.

Signs your exterior needs paint

  • Peeling or flaking paint on trim, fascia or porch ceilings.
  • Chalky residue that rubs off on your hand.
  • Faded color, especially on south- and west-facing walls.
  • Soft or rotting wood around windows, doors and the roofline.
  • Mildew stains that come back soon after washing.

Planning to sell? Fresh exterior paint and a newly painted front door are among the simplest ways to improve curb appeal before listing.

Color ideas

Popular exterior color schemes in the Pee Dee

Not sure where to start? These combinations work well on the brick-and-siding homes common around Florence. Your painter can bring real samples so you can see them in daylight on your own house.

Classic Southern

White siding, black shutters and a red door. Timeless on brick-and-siding homes.

Coastal blue-gray

Soft blue-gray body with crisp white trim and a navy door.

Modern farmhouse

Warm white body, dark bronze trim and a natural wood door.

Pee Dee greige

Greige siding, white trim and a deep green door, easy with red brick.

Tip: paint colors look lighter outdoors than on a small chip. Test a large sample on two sides of the house and check it in morning and afternoon light.

How a typical exterior job goes

  1. Estimate visit. The painter walks the house, checks for rot and peeling, and talks through colors and paint options.
  2. Washing. The siding is cleaned to remove dirt, pollen and mildew so the new paint bonds.
  3. Prep and repairs. Loose paint is scraped and sanded, damaged wood is replaced, and gaps are caulked.
  4. Protecting your property. Windows, plants, walkways and fixtures are covered.
  5. Priming and painting. Bare wood is primed, then body, trim and doors get their coats.
  6. Walkthrough. You look over the work together before cleanup is complete.

Hiring a painter

Before you sign, ask:

  • Are you properly registered or licensed in South Carolina, and do you carry liability insurance? (Verify through South Carolina LLR.)
  • What prep is included, and how will you handle rotted wood?
  • Which paint brand and product line will you use, and how many coats?
  • How will you protect landscaping, floors and furniture?
  • Is there a written warranty, and what does it cover?

When to paint

In the Pee Dee, spring and fall are the most popular times for exterior painting, with mild temperatures and lower humidity. Painters work through much of summer and winter too, scheduling around storms and cold mornings, since most paints need temperatures above a minimum listed on the label. Interior painting can be done any time of year.

Common questions

How much does it cost to paint a house in Florence?

It depends on the size of the house, the number of stories, the amount of prep and repair, the surfaces involved and the paint you choose. The only reliable price is a written estimate after a painter sees the house, and the estimate is free.

How long does exterior paint last here?

With good prep and quality paint, many exteriors go years between repaints, but sun-facing walls, trim and doors usually wear first. Regular washing helps paint last longer.

Can brick or vinyl siding be painted?

Yes. Brick can be painted or limewashed, and vinyl siding can be painted with products made for vinyl, in colors that won't cause the siding to overheat and warp. Ask your painter about the right products.

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

For exterior work, usually not, as long as the painter has access to water and power. For interior work, you'll want to agree on a schedule.

Are you a painting company?

No. This is a free referral service. We connect you with an independent local painter who gives the estimate and does the work.
